I was driving by a local thrift store yesterday and noticed these beauties sitting outisde for sale
I stopped and scoped them out a little bit , before a man came outside going on about the 20lb limit on the bucket seat , I informed him I wasnt interested in the weight limit more the expiry - he assured me neither were expired
I begged to differ and he sent me into the store to talk to the manager....as soon as I said the word expired he got all nervous and went on and on about how he would toss them cause his store doesnt sell expired carseats , he knows hes not allowed lol....I think he thought I was going to fine him or something it was weird
I finally got through to him and asked if I could have both for $5 ( to be nice , just to get them out of the store) and he agreed so long as I dont use them - well DUH and made sure to inform me if I told anyone I got them from there he would deny it ....Oh and not that it matters but he was asking $20 for the bucket & $15 for the sheild lol
The bucket is a Snugride , DOM 01/2004 , 3 point harness but in overall okay conditon actually just dirty and the strap through the centre buckle is all twisted but I dont think I would expect anything being its a 3 point lol
The sheild is a Cosco Explorer , I couldnt find a DOM as the stickers were all peeled and worn , but I did find a stamp on the bottom of 95" so im assuming thats the expiry or the DOM?
I have to admit I was pretty excited to find these , I never get super old seats when I scour thrift stores , usually just dirty buckets close to expiry lol
